Property description

A Victorian four/five bedroom detached property with off street parking for up to six cars, a detached double garage and an enclosed garden including a storage barn.

The brick under clay tile property is believed to date back to the 1850s with later extensions added approximately 40 years ago and further improvements made by the current owners who have lived at the property for over 20 years. It is accessed at the side and provides nearly 2,150 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation including an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor, and a cloakroom. The sitting room measures over 24 ft. and has an exposed brick wall with a feature fireplace housing a log burning stove and a bay window. The dining room also has a feature fireplace and there is a conservatory, a study/snug, and a music room which could be used as an additional bedroom if required. There is also a refitted modern kitchen/breakfast room with a separate utility room. On the first floor are four bedrooms leading off the landing, two with built-in storage, a three piece shower room and a refitted three piece family bathroom with access to the loft space.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room

The open plan kitchen/breakfast room was refitted in 2022 with a range of modern gloss handleless soft closing units including a breakfast bar, all with Minerva work surfaces and incorporating a sink unit. Integrated appliances include a Neff self-cleaning oven with a slide and hide door, a microwave, an induction hob with extractor over, a dishwasher and a fridge/freezer. The wood effect flooring continues into the separate utility room which has matching fittings and space for a tumble dryer and plumbing for a washing machine. An external door leads to the side.

Outside

A gated driveway has parking for up to six cars and accesses the detached double garage which has electric up and over doors, power and light and a side door. A side gate leads to the gardens which are enclosed by panelled fencing and principally lawned with shrub borders and mature trees. There is a paved terrace, a pergola, a greenhouse, and summer house. A paved courtyard includes a feature well. There is a storage barn with power and light offering a variety of uses.

Situation and Schooling

The historic village of Northill has a parish church, a lower school, a village hall, and a public house/restaurant. A May Day celebration between Northill and the nearby village of Ickwell is believed to have taken place since circa 1565. For everyday amenities the market town of Biggleswade is 4 miles away and Cambridge, with shopping, theatre, arts, and leisure facilities is a 30 minutes’ drive. Northill C of E Lower School is rated good by Ofsted, and the private Harpur Trust schools in Bedford are approximately 7 miles.
